Will this by our last
Christmas? It is sad to read the news
from here and see what is happening to our beloved United States of
America. A number of years ago I was
reading in Heleman and 3 Nephi about the time of the Savior’s birth when the
wicked announced that unless the Savior came that night the believers would all
be slain. It came over me that would be
repeated in our time.
Only wickedness would
get above us if the people were wicked.
In 2004 I was watching the Democratic Convention when a young Illinois
Senator was introduced as their key note speaker. What I heard was frightening, I had the distinct warning that standing at
that podium was another Korihor with a very glib tongue. I called Norm in California and told him that
I had just witnessed the most frightening thing. Heaven help us if this man ran for President
of the United States. Four years later
it happened. I read all I could research
out on him and found out that he was indeed a follower of Alinsky, who lived in
Chicago and wrote communistic propaganda.
I opened his writings which began with a visit by someone who dared defy God and in doing so was
able to establish his own Kingdom. Well
we know who that is. Then the second
thing was that the middle class has to be destroyed. We are seeing that one happen.
Elder Storrer was
curious about the Rothchilds who it is said owns over half of the wealth of the
world. He did some research on them and
found that it is probably true. He found
how they have literally stolen the money of the world with Governments’ blessings,
by establishing Central Banks where they collect all the interest. John Kennedy wanted to do away with the
“Federal Reserve” (which is now called
the “Central Bank”, )and establish our own bank with no interest, shortly
before he was assassinated.
It also pointed out
Abraham Lincoln had wanted to close the banks and establish as well an interest
free bank. Then Norm also read that the
Rothchilds claim that they were told by Satan that he is the God of the World
and “ that they visit with him on a regular basis. I think we have unearthed the “AntiChrist.” They are proud of this fact. They claim that they have financed many wars
and proud of all the slaughters.
America was promised
that it would survive only if it worshipped Jesus Christ. Now we are reading about all the attacks on
Jesus Christ and those who worship him.
California is literally passing wicked laws, that are to force people
into wickedness. The teachings in the
schools are to destroy the righteousness of the children.
America is more wicked
than any other country, when it comes to destroying peoples lives both
physically and spiritually. Does not
that fulfill prophecy? It is amazing how
closely we can follow exactly what is happening in the prophecies of the
scriptures, both Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants and the
prophecies of Orson Pratt, who was commanded by God to prophecy in the D &
C, at the tender age of 19.
The only choice we
have is to follow the commandments of God.
There is one tool missing in Satan’s arsenal and that is Love. The Savior was very specific that it is the
greatest commandment. Satan desires our
souls and President Packer some years ago warned us to be very careful of
righteous indignation. If Satan can stir
us up to anger because of the horrible wickedness of those who rule over us he
will destroy us as well. We cannot
afford to have any hate in our hearts.
That is going to be a very difficult thing to do, unless we call upon
God in the name of Jesus Christ to overcome these feelings. And it must be unceasingly.
Our latter day
prophets have given us the key to this by admonishing us to study our
scriptures with unceasing prayer, daily.
Last Thursday the
Roth’s were back from America, and Gerald Roth, released as Mission President
to Bulgaria is their Institute instructor.
He is awesome. No I understood
very little, but Norm told me what he basically said, that impressed him. (I can read the manuals in English to know
the subject matter. I just wish I could
understand the important points he brings out.)
One of the things he challenged our young adults with is making a habit
of reading the scriptures daily. Only
one of the JAE there at the time could admit to reading and studying the
scriptures daily. Brüder Roth told them,
“I promise you if you do not prayerfully study the scriptures daily you will
apostatize. Sister Roth, a very smart
woman says, “I don’t know if you should say that.” His quick response was, “Yes I should say
this.” I think Elder Storrer said that
he repeated it again. You could feel the
spirit in that room as he taught.
He probably has been
the best teacher we have seen, and we have had quite a number of substitutes,
including Achim Erlacher, who works for the church in the Area as the
Instituted Director.
The Roth’s and Erwin
his brother are very aware of what is happening in America. There are members here who follow the
propaganda and are shocked that the Saints in America are so conservative, but
these two brothers, really keep themselves abreast of what is happening. They are great men with a wonderful and
spiritual mother, and they know what it takes to keep a testimony.
I know that what
Gerald Roth told those YSA is very true.
May our children take heed, that it is so important that the home be the
first and strongest learning of our grandchildren.
We must pray unceasingly and practice
unceasingly Love or Charity. As Moroni
7: 44-48 tells us about Charity. “All
else fails………..but Charity never faileth.”
The brethren are talking a lot about it.
It is the only tool that can defeat Satan. “Stand ye in Holy Places, and be not moved,
until the Savior com
